Start classes on Tuesday :)


I can't wait! I got a full ride (Pell grants) so this summer I'm taking 12 credits, 12 credits in the fall and more in the spring. In two years I'll be a Medical Assistant and I can't wait! (My school has a 100 percent placement rate ) I've got some humanities stuff to do this summer and two medical terminology courses. Finally some meat to my studies! I am so overjoyed and thankful to God for this opp! I also made a friend who did CNA to Medical Assistant to RN and now shes so happy. I can't wait to get into these courses!!!!

Are you going to go for your rn or are you just doing medical assisting? just curious. If you are going to do rn why are you doing the medical assisting. I wish you the best of luck. I am hoping to do medical coding in august.

Just from my personal point, I graduated this past January with my AS in Medical Billing and coding and NO ONE is hiring, and the ones I have found want someone with 2+ years experience. Not saying it is like that everywhere. I would say take whatever you get first and than use that for experience factor even if the pay is not good at first. Good luck! I don't regret my degree at all.

I'd love to do RN but around here its sooooo hard to get into. Three colleges, in three cities near me take a total of 75 students. The prereqs take at least a year usually more and then its a two year at least waiting list. MA is growing fast where I am, many openings and many doctors offices hiring them. I've talked to many doctors, specialists ect that rec it as the way to go. (their hiring them in their offices )
Thanks for the advice CandAmommy, Hang in there, you'll find something soon. I'm told that field is going to open up again soon.

Good luck on your path! Like I said I am happy about having my degree. I was never really interested in Medical Billing, but wanted to have an option to work from home with my two little boys. I'm much more excited about having my CNA license..the associates degree is just the silver lining
